Eleanor

Directed by Jeffery Battersby

Friday, October 4, 8pm

This one-woman show brings to life Eleanor Roosevelt, the most influential First Lady the world has ever seen. From her “Ugly Duckling” upbringing to her unorthodox marriage to Franklin, Eleanor puts her controversial life, loves and passions on the stage.

Eleanor is an intimate portrait of the witty, feisty, and vulnerable woman who stood at the heart of the FDR presidency and left an indelible mark on American history.

“Extraordinary. That’s the only word for it … Eleanor is a triumph, all the way.” —Berkshire Bright Focus

Underneath The Lintel

by Glen Gerber

Directed by Christine Crawfis

Saturday, October 5, 8pm

Sunday, October 6, 2pm

When a reclusive librarian discovers a 113-year overdue book in the night slot, curiosity compels her to pursue the borrower. Her search for answers leads to a worldwide, whirlwind journey, where she discovers instead the great mysteries of humanity.

Called "powerfully human and ultimately sublime," Glen Berger's Underneath the Lintel reminds us that the joy is in the journey itself.

“…one of a handful of great plays written in the last five years … an astonishingly beautiful piece of writing …” ⁠ —⁠Seattle Weekly
